Laughing at our own jokes

I was messing with filters in Photoshop during the processing of this photo, when my curser highlighted "Polor Coordinates" in the distortion category.

I'd almost forgotten about that little widget. I used that a lot when I first started learning digital darkroom. I suppose I liked making circles out of straight lines.

Of course overusing something like this (or probably using it at all) is the grammatical equivalent of using too many capital letters or exclamation points ... that of laughing at your own joke: A joke no one else really "gets."

The Champ thought this picture was worth interpretation.

"Oh, look! Ahbel is a space monkey."
